Coffin Room over No. 21 Public Square, NOTICE is hereby given, that David P. Smith, Esq., of Watertown, is duly author- ized to collect and give receipts for all monies due me as late publisher of the Watertown RE-TJHION t o Sept. 12th, 1870 tf A. H. HALL. The election excitement has quite sub- sided. Let us rejoice. Now is the time to subscribe for the RE- UHION—acknowledged the largest and best local paper in th e county. Freeman, at G-re&t Bend, he of big dance celebrity, gives his annual \hop\ on Fri- day night. Won't there be fun tho' ? The man who didn't believe in advertis- ing has gone into partnership with the Sheriff, and they are going to have an auc- tion, The great fall of snow has rendered the roads leading into -the city almost impass- able. All the trains, however, arc again running on time. The new paper issued recently in Wa- tertown by the Young Men's Christian Association is principally devoted to ad- vertisements and fashion items. We are printing some elegant visiting cards just now for New Years Callers.

Thebeginning of the New Year is always an excellent time to settle up old scores, and we hope our subscribers, one and alii will make it a point of honor to, square their accounts, and commence the year with the paper paid in advance. All who do so may rest content in the assurance of a happy and. prosperous New Year. Pomeroy's Democrat of last week, lias this item:—A girl at Watertown, N. Y., has collected $10;000 because a cowcatcher threw her over the fence. She claimed that she was no cow, and they wouldn't c 'teher submitting to any.such indignity. S'.e now walks on the track often to make another $10,000.' At a regular Meeting of Alexandria Loclgt;F. & A.M. held Dec. 30th, 1870, the following Officers were elected for the ensuing year: M. C. Jewett, W. M. Andrew Cromwall S. W. A. E. Campbell J. W. Charles Walton, Treas. A. C. Corn- wall, Sec. James A. Taylor & James H. Cornwall, Stewards. Rev. F. S. Freeman, Chaplain. Don A. Watson, Marshall. John F. Walton, Organist. John I. Ever- Son, Tyler. COMING BACK,—The citizens of Water- town, at least the afflicted portion of them will be delighted to hear that that most successful physician,. Dr. Vescelius, will again be i n Watertown on Friday nest, December 30th 1870., to remain a few days. He will put up at th e Wood- ruff House. The sick should make a note of this and govern themselves according y. Dr. V. has been highly successful in heal- ing disease in the many persons who came to him to b e cured at Carthage. He scarcely ever fails in effecting a permanent cure inany case he undertakes. Poland and China hogs, bred by McLe- an & Collins, Henderson, Jefferson county. Having taken great pains in the improve- ment of stock in this county and State, we have imported ilicsu noted hogs, and now offer their services to th e farming community and others for the improve- ment of. their own breeds. The boars, \Commodore Yanderbilt,\ and \Jim Fisk, jr.,\ will be kept at the farm of G. W. Collins, Henderson, ore-half mile, west of Bishop St. dec22w4 To WFTOM IT MAT CONCERN.—We would advise th e people surrounding Carthage to call at the New York Clothing Hall for their men's and boy's clothing, furnishing goods, hats, caps, &c. People are rushing in from twenty miles to buy their clothing at that place and they say it is the cheap- est houae they ever heard of. Call for your own interest. You will find the New York Clothing Hall on the corner of McCollum's Block, Carthage, N. Y, decl5w3 . EOMPSES.—-There will' be four eclipses in the year 1871—two of the sun and two ', of the moon. Tbe\ first will be $ partial eclipse of the moon, January 6th, partly visible here; the second an annular eclipse of the ,sun, June 17th, invisible bere; the third a partial eclipse of the moon, invisi- ble.; the fourth a total eclipse of the sun, invisible.

TIMELY CAUTION.—This advice should be heeded. The best time in the year to take cold is at hand. To the overheating of our homes and places of business is t o be traced much of the disease which fast, ens on lung and 'bronchial tubes about this time of the year. Passing from some apartments to th e street in the winter, is like plunging into an ice bath; it chills the blood to the very source et it. Ex- tra care ought to be taken, especially by young ladies who attend balls, and who dance themselves into a perspiring condi- tion and then neglect to comfortably wrap themselves Up. A little care now will save many doctors' bills and much pain and suffering. A-MAJST Is now on hand who isopmpetent and willing to make pleasing Pictures, as well as accurate Portraits, and may he iFOTnSTD NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Mr. George Franois Train arrived in New York last week by the Oily of Lon- >.\„;» after a five months's rush round the world. He comes bome in quite ill-health, and is of the opinion that his food was poisoned while b e was imprisoned at Ly- ons. He lost twenty-four pounds of flesh in as many days. Mr. Bemis, Mr. Train's Secretary, has grown thin and grey, a£ a result of this circum-navigation of the globe and. tho excitement be underwent in France. Gambetta hopes Mr. Train will rouse public opinion in this country. Mr. Train will soon issue half-a-dozen books, or more, and, as soon as he is able, will hold meetings at the Cooper Institute! Academy ot music, in Watertown aud elsewhere. Now is the time to buy your - dry-goods, while you can get them cheap and to your choice at Messrs. Davis & Bartlott's on Court Street. Read \ylittl they have to say on tbe subject. The best New Year's Gift you can make to your son or daughter in the West, is a copy of THE RE-UNION. I t will carry to them not only tbe local news, but be a weekly reminder of the loved ones who send it. WHO CAN BEET THIS TURNIP ?—Mr, J. J. Kinney, of Evans' Mills, has a turnip which measures 30 inches in circumference, and weighs 16'lbs. This has'nt been a good year either for vegetables in that section ! Neck-tie parties are all th e go nowa- days. An exchange thinks, however they arenothing new. The have been held alas, too frequently from the time to which the memory of man runneth not back oven until the present day. I n this country the sheriff of the county is generally the acting functionary on such occasions. MISSIONARY MEETINGS.—The Convoca- tion of Jefferson County meets at Trijity Church on Tuesday evening of next week Jan. 3rd, and continues through the fol- lowing day— one of tho services being held in Grace Chapel. Bishop Hunting- ton is to be present, and the occasion is no doubt to be cue of very great interest. Bishop, ot Bmwnville, who keeps tbe Johnston i ,• in such good shape, ^Ives a grand New i'ears Ball on 'Friday night next, 30th inst. He has an elegant hall and has otherwise refurnished and car- peted the hotel until it looks quite like an- other place, of course all our pleasure loving readers wilibo sure to be there. We hope the Printing Committee of the Board of Supervisoi'3 will excuse our ne- glect of thein this week. We have bad »o much other work to do, that positively we have not had time to even spepk of their iniquity in this No. of THE RE-UNION. But we are not through witb them yet. Mat justitia ruai cmlvm. One pf the largest and most complete bardware establishment., in the State, and one doing as extensive and no doubt as profitable a trade as any other, is that of Messrs. Ten Eyck, TJtley & Co., in this City, I t is emphatically a credit to Wa- tertown and to tne firm, Their stock is an immense one, and comprises every ar- ticle to be found in a large and well con- ducted store of this character. No doubt 'their energy and public spirit will b e suit- ably rewarded nt *hi> hsmds of a diserimi- «nating public, as it abundantly deserves to be. We have great pleasure in refer- ring our numerous readers to their ad- vertisement, which may be found in an- other coluavn. While the good citizens of Watertown during this holiday season are very prop- erly knderii ^ their heartfelt thanks to the AU-Wis.' ruler of the Univefce, for His manifold blessings and gifts in the past, we beg of them at the same time not to forget the Devil! Give that celebrated individual Ms due. Our Carrier will pre- sent his Annual Addrefs on Saturday next, and we are suT...;-igood wishes and hap- py greetings t «' his patrons will not be rudely spurn*'!. ' -it gratefully and propr crly received nit ..eknowledged. We refer si \> \four readers as are in- terested in the - \jvement to the advertise- ment of the Drafted Men of this section, who intend holding a meeting in the Court House, Watertown, on the 3rd of January, 1871. We publish elsewhere a leport of the convention at Syracuse, which appears to have been quite a successful gathering. Governor Seymour and many other cele- brities are actively aiding lo further the effort of the gentlemen interested in the movement. Our neighbor, the Times, has a happy faculty for making statements against peo- ple, and then when it is contradicted or threatened with contradiction, to take back all it has said, (tide, the brother Bragdon charges and thr-se against the Mayor). We would suggest that when our contem. does publish an article which is true beyond question, it append to the foot of the same—so that we may know what we are receiving and how to receive it—a sentence something like this : \This we intend to stick to,\ or \The above is not to be hereafter apologized for.\ Here's where you get your owls 1 We spoke recently of an owl, which was cap- tured in Ellisburg, measuring over 4 feet from tip to tip of its wings. But on Mon- day last we were shown one that measured 4 ft. C in across the wings. It was shot in Orlwis by Bob Scott, an old Watertown celebrity, who also bad several monster fox skins, taken from animals deprived of life by the aforesaid Bob. If any person, far or near, can tell us of an owl any larger than Bob's, we have his assurance' for 're- marking that he will eat the bird ! UNIFORMITY OF WEIGHTS.—As quality and weight are more important than mea- surement or mere bulk, it is strange to see in th e same country the difference be- tween the weight of a bushel in the differ- ent States. While in all the States and in Canada a bushel of wheat weighs 60 pounds, shelled com is 52 pounds per bushel in Iowa, and in the other States 56 pounds. Corn on the oar is 68 pounds per bushel in Indiana, in the other States 70 pounds. Oats are 30 pounds per bushel in New Jersey, 33 in Iowa, 35 i n Missouri, 35 in Canada, and in tbe rest of the States 38 pounds, and so the list goes on with even greater variations. The law which per- mits one man to sell, and insist upon sell- ing, his goods and produce according to the simple and uniform decimal system, ought to be carried out; while a convention of the States should regulate the weight of a bushel of tho same article, and have it uniform everywhere. Still better would it be to have this uniformity both of pro- duce and of money common to all the world. be opc-ned-jvitb. a grand musical soiree and: dancing. 'The Watertown Comet Band will produce some of their most excellent music; also th e Davis Sewing Machine Quartette will please all with vocal music, after which H. Signer Parsons' Orohestra will play for those who wish t o have a sociable danoe. The invitations are out, andsthose who are favored are sure of having a happy time. Mr. H. H. Hungerford, who is well known in the city and county as an ex- tensive and successful dealer in butter, and cheese, is about to remove permanently to New York City, where he will attend personally to the sale of the above articles which are purchased in the city and neigh- borhood and forwarded to his place of business in New York, 120 Washington St. Mr. Hungerford has our best wishes for his continued prosperity, wherever be may be. If Orry Frost will supply us with his post office address we will accredit him with the $2. sent us on subscription. I t would mightily please as well as accomo- date us if our patrons, when they write, would place their address on their letters. And there i s another little matter we beg to impress upon our subscribers and cor- respondents. When they desire to- have their paper changed from one post-office to annother they shouldinvariably give us tho name of the place from which they have removed as well as of that to Avhich they desire to have the paper sent. \Let us trip i t as we go on the light fantastic toe.\ Every one will surely go ; and this is why it should be so. Davenport and ffm, Roach have agreed with Mr. Horth for his band on Friday night, let the wind blow south or north. And upon tho Gth of Jan., then the dance will open bright and while music fills th e air, light, swift feet will whirl al l night. Down on Court Street at the Drill-shed, there the fun will all be held, while the supper and the liquids may be had at each hotel. Thus in curious rhyme we've sta- ted all about the dance that night. Let our friends put in appearance, r.nd what we've said they'll find all rieht. and elc- AT GODKIN'S GALLERY, STREETER'S BLOCK, where they are prepared to fur- nish you with all the latest Styles, as they are ALIVE To the interests of themselves as well as their numerous patrons SEE WEATJB5 WILL DOv, 95,000 DOLLABS !

Watertown, Dee. 22,1870. tf How TO THWART SWINDLERS.—There is no more effectual way to escape being victimized by swindling traveling agents than by carefully reading the newspapers, which expose the transactions of the scoun- drels as tbey occur. Persons doing this are always fortified, and when they are ac- costed by parties offering theni induce- ments they know how to deal with them. Those swindled are generally people who consider it an unnecessary expenditure to subscribe and pay for a newspaper. They are wise in their own conceit. Let a man approach them with a plausible story, holding out illusive inducements, and they seize on them with great avidity. The glib tongue of the swindler Wins their con- fidence, and they become victims to fraud as easily as \rolling off a log.'' Men who read tbe news are seldom, if ever, deceived by traveling impostors. A few dollars in- vested in a good newspaper may be the means of saving hundreds of dollars to the party making the outlay. How many hi this city and county are swindled yearly because they do not place tbe proper esti- mate on the press ? Happening in the photographic gallery of Mr. H. A. Hose during the holidays we were pleased to notice the many people present, waiting for some of those excel- lent pictures which Mr. Hose can produce in tb e most artistic manner. W e Were perfectly satisfied with some photographs of ourselves, even if they did natter us just a little. Mr. Hcse has a pleasant gal- lery in the Agricultural building, where he will receive his patrons with pleasure. HACK SLEIGH for sale, cheap for co.-h, or will be exchanged for other property.

Many scientific Americans went to Europe to carefully observe ' he total eclipse. It is hoped that they will have been enabled to determine the nature of the sun's corona. Congress devoted some $30,000 to pay the expenses of par- ties to be sent abroad, and three expedi- tions, one under Prof. Pierce, and another under Prof. Winlock, and th e third un- der a naval officer, have been sent. The line of totality passed through the south- ern portions of Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Russia. The stations occupied by these parties were selected so as to be within this line. Prof. Winlock probably occupied a station ia Spain where the total eclipse occurcd at mid-day. He intended to devote himself personaly to ob- servations with the spectroscope, while among his assistants Was a photographer who was to take solar photographs with the photographic telescope now used in tbe Cambridge Observatory. As specimen of good grammar phantine wit the following gem, from the last number of the new paper started in tho interest of the Young Men's Christian Association of Watertown, carries off tho palm : \After our last issue we were informed by numerous friends that it was customa- ry for new candidates to public favor t o come out m their first issue with a double leaded \leader\ 1 , &c. Now, as we did not do as was customary, we should, I sup- pose, humbly beg the pardon of our read- ers, aud say we won't do so any more. So kind readers consider your pardon begged ; come and see ua, and secure your tickets for the rest of the Course.\ The editor of that paper is a treasure, and if ho is not regularly engaged in a literary capacity, he ought to be, that's all.
